***Pitt @ FSU Game Thread***

[FireballZ]

Good job by whoever it was holding Cummings back. He looked like he was ready to go get into someone.

I think that's the Bosnian's new role. The "hold me back" guy on the bench.

Dunn, Corhen and Cummings combine for 1-17 from the field.

Everyone else combined for 20-39, which isn't great, but isn't too bad.

Capel is to blame for continually playing Dunn and Corhen even when they are playing like garbage.

Corhen doesn't seem like he could jump onto a phonebook from a standstill.

Corhen jumps ok. He just has weak hands and is slow getting off the ground. He has to play less.

Can one of our stat gurus look into our record this year when Lowe goes braids versus non-braids?

Meh. It’s like people complain about teams running up the score in football. My response is play defense and don’t let it happen Or better yet show up for the first half

Pitt deserved someone to pull a bush move like that on them. If we play better in the first half and don't give up 54 points in the second half against a mediocre team, we might have had a chance. Yes, FSU is a bunch of punks, including their coach. But Pitt showed no desire to win this game. Outrebounded again, shitty defense, and outcoached badly....again. Pitt is a lazy team defensively.

If we keep this up, we may only win 3 or 4 more games the rest of the year. I don't see a sure win the rest of the year with this team. Very disappointing. I think it's time for Capel to do some soul searching.

I can think of several times in the past 8 days that he's gotten a rare rebound under the hoop and gotten snuffed or missed a bunny because he can't aggressively dunk or draw a foul by bodying up a put back.

FSU scored on 10 of 13 possessions starting with Ewin's mid-court interception. They werent as good in the mid 2nd Half but then ended the game scoring on their last 13 possessions. Pretty hard to do worse than that defensively.

And that's why we lost this game and every game we've lost this year. It's getting monotonous. Defense and rebounding. I don't give a rat's a$$ if you can score a bunch of points. If you can't play defense and rebound, you will lose 9 times out of 10.

Who's going in instead? I appreciate Diaz-graham's effort but he gets thrown around like a rag doll inside. You saw what Kante gave us today.

I'd have to go look but I think we kept putting them on the line down the stretch. Fouls and dumbass fouls.

To top it off, it was fouls with under 10 on the shot clock too. After they had actually played defense for a while.

It was a double whammy. The time drains off the clock and they were hitting their free throws so they got the points too.

Coming down the stretch, Corhen fouled when Pitt had a good double team on a guy above the 3 point line with 7 on the shot clock. There was no need to reach in and he did anyway. Just no feel for the game or situation.

Dumbass fouls 100 percent.

Fouls when several times we go within 4-5-6 points.

They needed to abandon dribble drive earlier and hit even more threes. Because you were not catching up with 2s or getting fouled or worse turn it over in some cases

Turn overs were abysmal all night really

I'm beginning to think this team does not have a high basketball IQ, or at least some of the players. I now question if Capel is lacking in that department.
